Ishant Sharma\'s Behaviour Hurt Indian Team Cause, Feels Sanjay Manjrekar. Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has criticised pacer Ishant Sharma for his overt display of aggression during India.
Chennai: Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has criticised pacer Ishant Sharma for his overt display of aggression during India’s recent tour of Sri Lanka. Ishant displayed excellent form with the ball as India won the second and third Tests in Colombo to clinch the three-match series 2-1.
But the Delhi pacer’s performance was punctured by frequent confrontations with the Lankan players which saw him being banned for the first Test of October’s home series against South Africa. Manjrekar feels that Ishant has hurt the Indian team’s cause with his behaviour. ”If the batsman has been given not out a couple of times when the bowler thinks he is out and then the bowler finally gets him out, you can understand the angst against that particular batsman, and the bowler venting his frustration. But Ishant seemed to do it for no apparent reason in Sri Lanka.
